A Third Way

by LEE OSORIO

Nico and Matt are fine- or so they’d say to anyone asking about their marriage. And
that’s true…but less “fine wine” and more “it was fine, but I probably wouldn’t eat there
again.” The decision to open their marriage starts an effort to save their relationship, but
as they queer the boundaries of their marriage it forces them to question what it means to
queer your life. Will their bond survive? Should it?

    “

    Are freedom and commitment mutually exclusive? Or is that question a product of false and oppressive binary systems of thinking? These four complicated, vivid, engaging characters lurch and stumble their way to fluid terms of mutual engagement and a deliciously queered life together. The struggle to build to that life is also highly sensual and filled with moments of betrayed trust and unexpected revelation. This is a complex journey that is infinitely worth taking.

    I love this play and how it looks at what it means to queer family structures. There are also interesting questions of love, sex, friendship and fidelity. Great storytelling and interesting characters.
